Thanks to all three members for their input. Chrissain, keep us posted as it breaks in, and in your opinion the overall quality of the sound. BTW, who makes an M-180?? Is that an older ARC amp or integrated.?? Thanks, Jim
Rogue Audio two new integrateds Great or Same old?
Rogue has recently introduced two new integrated amps. The "Sphinx" which is 100RMS and a hybrid amp with a phono stage. This sells for $1395 including a cheap looking remote. The "Pharoah" is the other and is 175RMS with phono stage, but may be all tubes Rogue is now shipping to dealers and retail is $3495. Rogue has definitely gone Egyptian!!
Has anyone heard either integrated amp?? If so, what my the Pharoah worth almost 3X more than the little brother.Seems to have few features like an I-pod input and theater bypass, etc, that jack the price at least $500. Therefore I think the price point is wrong. $2795 seems more reasonable and competitive with products like the Creek Destiny II $2795) and Krell S300i($2500) and the new Musical Fidelity IA's.... Thanks, Jimmy
